Cleaning Your Washer

Is your laundry looking dingy? Are you seeing spots before your eyes? To keep your washer spotlessly clean, it is important to remember to give it a once over every six months, or every three months if you have hard water. Is your Dish Washer dingy? See my recipe for Cleaning Your Dishwasher ! From Talking Dirty Laundry with the Queen or Clean, by Linda Cobb
